Best Cannabis Strains for High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is often referred to as a silent killer within the medical industry. According toIntermountain Vein Center, venous reflux can be caused by blockage of veins and increased blood flow due to stress. It may not seem to be as serious as conditions such as cancer or seizures, but it can still cause serious long-term health issues. Severe cases of high blood pressure can lead to heart disease, a heart attack or a stroke, all of which can be fatal.

Some studies have shown that certain strains of cannabis may be effective in lowering blood pressure and improving vein health, although this is still a controversial topic. The best-known strains that are said to be good for lowering blood pressure are Indica-dominant hybrids such as White Haze and Early Queen, but since these strains aren’t often available at medical marijuana dispensaries, here are some other strains that could be useful in improving vein health.

Blue Dream

Blue Dream is an incredibly popular cannabis strain that is available at many dispensaries. Named for its blueberry-like aroma, Blue Dream provides patients with a feeling of relaxation and balance that has proven effective in treating depression, chronic fatigue, and ADHD. It stands to reason that its relaxing effect can also reduce anxiety and lower one’s blood pressure. Blue dream is available at our16th Street Mall,3D Cannabis Center, andBuckley dispensaries.

Green Crack

Green Crack is a powerful strain of cannabis with a high THC content that is often used to treat arthritis and other chronic pain conditions. The high THC levels are often thought to have a positive effect on a person’s blood pressure and vein health. We carryGreen Crack at the 16th Street Mall.

Northern Lights

Northern Lights is known for providing a relaxing and uplifting feeling that makes it a popular strain for those living with anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and nausea. Some users have reported that the relaxing high that comes from using Northern Lights helps their muscles relax, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

It should be noted that there is still a lot of research that needs to be done on the effects of cannabis on blood pressure. While these strains do seem to help patients who have problems with hypertension, other studies have shown that smoking marijuana may actually raise some people’s blood pressure – at least temporarily. It is possible that vaping or using edibles are much more effective ways of lowering blood pressure, so you should speak with your doctor to find out what cannabis strain or method of delivery is right for you. As always, use caution whenever you attempt a new treatment for any medical condition you may have, and always check thestrain data on our website before you buy!
